I am considering having Restylane in the hollows under my eyes. Will the filler be noticeable when I smile or give me a frozen look?
Hello - Yes, Restylane is great for treating the hollowness under the eyes, and shouldn't give you the frozen look that Botox can do. However, if you get Restylane placed into lines that are only present when you smile, then you may be able to see them at rest. Lines that are present in repose are the ones that should be treated with Restylane.
I've used Restylane on my lips and disappointed it lasted 2 months. I won't use it again. What could I use that wouldn't be absorbed so quickly?
Juvederm may work better for you and last longer. Unfortunately, there aren't many choices for lip enhancement and augmentation off the shelf. If you're considering surgery, fat grafting or Alloderm may offer better long term results, but this requires an operation. Also, the fat and Alloderm may also decrease over time so be aware of this before jumping into an operation. Good luck!
Bewteen my eyes I have atrophic scarring (tissue lost from cystic acne) made pronounced by frown lines; in other words, the depressed area makes the frown lines look deep. I plan to get Botox in this area first before I a filler. I read that filler between eyes can lead to necrosis, blindness, brain clot, etc. How common are these effects? How can they be avoided? Does the fact that I have a scar in that area make the risks more likely because the filler may settle around the scar ("donut" effect) as sometimes happens when using fillers for scars?
Restylane is great for filling in superficial areas around the eyes and between the eyes in the glabellar region. Yes, there are potential complications with this, but they are very rare. Be sure you are comfortable with the person who is doing your injections. You may want to consider seeing someone who is board certified. As far as scar tissue is concerned, you may want to have your surgeon lift up the scarred areas with a needle first to allow the depressed areas to be elevated by the Restylane. This may help to prevent the "doughnut" effect you're worried about. Good luck!
